organization empowered women with tools to find and maintain a career. However, the Arizona affiliate expanded on these concepts to include something instrumental to its success in a sprawling urban area like Phoenix: the Mobile Career Center. This resource allowed the organization to serve women who were unable to make it to the organization’s boutique due to transportation barriers. “It has been truly remarkable to see the growth and impact our organization has made on women in our community,” Doromal said. “As we get closer to celebrating our 10 years of service and our 10,000 clients, we look forward to expanding our services to all of the communities we serve.” Doromal is continuing to grow the reach and scale of the organization’s efforts by taking Dress for Success’s mission and adding another layer of diversity. In collaboration with St. Joseph the Worker, Dress for Success is preparing to launch Tailor Made for Success, a suiting program for men entering the workforce. The group will leverage the same model that has proven successful for the women-focused Dress for Success concept with a goal of aiding every population needing help to become gainfully employed. Dress for Success Phoenix’s director of operations, Mark Teetor, said that “traditionally Dress for Success has been run by females for females and it has been amazing to be a part of this organization’s diversification. Dress for Success Phoenix embraces different individuals coming from all different backgrounds and our team and our clients Reyna, a Dress for Success client, shows off the type of professional attire that has helped her achieve both confidence and economic independence.
